Non Audiophiles are funny people


ive had several non audiophile types in my home in the past year (painter,plumber,postal person, UPS,Fedex driver, neighbors) for some reason or another. I have 3 turntables
1. Michell GyroDec Linn AKito/Lyra Clavis
2. Sota Star SME 5/Cardas Heart
3. Well tempered Classic / Sumiko SHO

each one of these people ask or say "you must be a DJ" or "are you a DJ?". Imagine scrathing and backspinning on the wheels of steel, a belt driven loaded way down at 1.8 grams complete with vaccum hold down! Dont forget that record clamp! I can only imagine what that UPS driver would do if he was here alone with some Run DMC wax.

some kids broke into our house long ago (I have double cylinder locks now) & were gonna steal a portable handheld cassette player, but they must have left in a hurry because we found the player sitting by the back door all ready to go. They did get my coin-bank siting on the dresser but nothing else was missing. They passed on the $50K audio rig thankfully!
When the cops came out to take the report, one of them couldn't take his eyes off the equipment & couldn't believe what the thieves had left behind. He kept on whistling his exclamations & saying "Wow, Oh my gawd, I just can't believe THAT's still here" etc. It *was* pretty funny...
